Tools of the Trade Tip 7

The seventh Tools of the Trade Tip is on how to keep from having three people trying to huddle closely around a laptop screen to look at properties together.

While many buyers are researching homes on their own now by going to websites like my http://www.ihaveaddresses.com/ and http://www.residencetours.com/ there are still times when I find myself in front of my laptop trying to show them some feature sheets, photos, dimensions, county info, etc.

This is when an extra full size monitor comes in handy. You just plug the monitor cable into the laptop and hit the "Fn" key plus the "F5" key (varies from laptop to laptop) to select the two display option. Here's a screenshot I took while writiing this blog.

Yes, I have done this one the past and I have forgotten it. Thanks for the friendly reminder.

That is a great tip and I use it when I am working with others as well. It makes it easier for them to see what you are talking about.

Great post - thank you for sharing it with the Active Rain community.

Keep'em coming!

This is a great idea - I am considering getting another monitor - they are so much more affordable these days.

I just found your post Rob, I found it to be very helpful, then I subscribed to your blog and what do you know. There are more informational posts. Thanks for all the information. I will be looking forward to your next ones. Thanks again. Have a great day!

Thanks for the tip. I intend to use it in the near future.
